CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 257: KILL QIN TIAN! _2

However, once he reached a deserted area, his expression turned exceedingly calm. Flashes of golden light twinkled in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "Very well, the fish has taken the bait."

In fact, he had already placed a spiritual sense mark on Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli.

The abduction of Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli was part of his plan. Otherwise, how could he truly lure out Wen Zhixing? He did not inform his two nephews. Qin Tian and Qin Hao were too young, and knowing too much wouldn’t be good for them.

I still can’t sense the location of the mark; it must be placed inside a spatial spirit tool, not in the same space, so it’s normal that I can’t detect it.

Qin Hao focused his senses but wasn’t in a rush.

After all, they would have to release the hostages sooner or later. That will be the time for me to act.

「Meanwhile,」

Wen Zhixing had used "Across the Sky" several times in a row, only stopping when his Divine Ability reached its limit. He didn’t know exactly where he was. He only knew he had already fled beyond the outskirts of Linlang City and was likely in a valley.

[Your body has reached its limit and can no longer use the Divine Ability—Across the Sky.]

[You can reuse it once your body has fully recovered.]

[Your understanding of the Space Path has increased by +1.]

"Eh?"

Looking at the panel prompts that popped up, Wen Zhixing was slightly surprised.

He hadn’t expected that using other Divine Abilities would also increase his understanding of the Great Dao.

It seems that as long as a Divine Ability embodies some aspect of the Great Dao, using it can increase one’s insight into that Dao.

Wen Zhixing’s eyes lit up at this realization.

Although he had used Across the Sky many times to gain just +1 understanding of the Dao, every little bit helped. It was always a good thing.

[Detected Divine Soul Marks planted on Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli. You can spend twenty Fortune Points to remove them.]

Just as Wen Zhixing was about to release Feng Ruoli and Si Nanyan, he saw another panel prompt.

"A Divine Soul Mark?"

Wen Zhixing’s heart skipped a beat.

I almost released them. That was a close call. I’m really too inexperienced. How could those people not have set up any countermeasures?

"Remove."

Seeing that it would only cost twenty Fortune Points to remove the Divine Soul Mark, Wen Zhixing decisively chose to do so.

The next moment, the panel prompted him again.

[Divine Soul Mark has been removed.]

[Current Fortune Points: 510.]

"That was fast."

Wen Zhixing was taken aback.

It was so quick he barely had time to register it.

"Come out."

With a wave of his hand, Wen Zhixing brought forth two graceful figures in front of him.

"We greet you, Sir."

Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli bowed respectfully, their faces displaying extreme joy, yet they restrained themselves from rushing forward.

"Rise."

Wen Zhixing, however, showed no signs of joy.

In truth, even if Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli had been truly killed, I wouldn’t have been sad. After all, I’ve already killed Si Nanyan once.

My primary reason for taking action this time was simply that I don’t want to be at others’ mercy. I’ve had enough of these kinds of days. These people from the Qin Family really think they can walk all over me.

"Catch."

Wen Zhixing waved his hand, and a Message Jade Talisman landed in Si Nanyan’s hands.

"Sir, what is this?"

The two were puzzled.

Wen Zhixing said, "You’ll contact this person later, and she will take you to a safe place."

"Sir, where are you going?" Si Nanyan stepped forward and asked, her tone tinged with urgency.

Why do we have to separate again so soon after meeting?

Feng Ruoli also opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

However, Wen Zhixing showed no intention of catering to their feelings, speaking coldly, "I have my own plans. Remember, do not trouble me in the future."

"Yes."

Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli both shrank back, responding meekly.

This time, we’ve indeed caused Sir Wen a lot of trouble. We were supposed to alleviate his worries, not add to them. That was so wrong of us. It’s all our fault.

Both of them felt a pang of guilt.

Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli instinctively overlooked the fact that everything had started because of Wen Zhixing.

It could only be said that their way of thinking had been profoundly influenced.

It was almost ingrained, perhaps irreversibly so.

"Alright, be careful on your own, and wait for someone to come and escort you."

Wen Zhixing nodded and then once again used Across the Sky to depart.

His body recovered quickly; merely in the time they spoke, he was already back to his peak state.

Originally, I was thinking of pretending to be Lu Shangxing tomorrow, properly taking a concubine, and then slowly dealing with Qin Tian and Qin Hao. But now, I somewhat regret that plan. I should take advantage of the current discord between Qin Hao and Qin Tian and continue to act.

VMM!

Spatial fluctuations rippled around him as Wen Zhixing took a step and vanished.

"Fortune Divine Devil Skill."

Wen Zhixing muttered under his breath, and his appearance changed once again.

He touched something in the palm of his hand.

[Instant Attack Jade Talisman:] Legendary Quality, capable of unleashing a full-force strike from a Peeping Realm expert.

[This jade talisman is currently sealed by prohibition, requiring five hundred Fortune Points to break the seal.]

A full-force strike from a Peeping Realm expert... even Qin Yang might not be able to withstand that.

Wen Zhixing’s ambition burned fiercely.

Today, I will kill!

Ning Xiaoyu was tortured to death by the Qin Family. They didn’t spare her divine soul or her body. The very essence within her was refined into a Genius Spirit Seed—how can I possibly endure this insult!

My primary targets are Qin Tian and Qin Hao. I understand clearly that this instant attack jade talisman is my trump card. A defensive trump card, that is.

Considering Qin Yang’s strength, even if he couldn’t withstand the talisman’s attack, he would most likely be able to escape. Of course, if I could kill Qin Yang, that would be even better.

"Break the prohibition."

Wen Zhixing’s eyes flashed as he spoke in a deep voice.

[You have consumed five hundred Fortune Points.]

[Beginning to break the prohibition within the instant attack jade talisman.]

[Breaking in progress...]

[Current Fortune Points: 10.]

The prohibition on this jade talisman was clearly much harder to remove than the one on the Divine Soul Mark. It took a full ten seconds before the prohibition within the talisman CLICKED open.

In an instant, Wen Zhixing felt the jade talisman in his hand begin to exude a terrifying power that made his heart palpitate.

"Terrifying."

He hurriedly stored it in his Universe Belt.

This instant attack jade talisman is simply too powerful.

Should I kill Qin Tian or Qin Hao first?

After taking a deep breath, Wen Zhixing once again used Across the Sky.

After what happened, Qin Hao will surely suspect me... I’ll kill Qin Tian first.

He quickly made his decision.

「Meanwhile,」

Qin Tian was sitting cross-legged in his room, his face contorted with a fierce expression. After the recent incident, he had locked himself inside, not wanting to see anyone.

This time, I’ve truly suffered a major setback. The chances of capturing Wen Zhixing have become slim. Will I still have a chance to obtain such a supreme Genius Spirit Seed?

"Qin Yang, Qin Hao, both are deceiving me, tricking me!"

Qin Tian began to breathe rapidly.

I clearly sensed that Qin Yang didn’t use his full strength to stop "Shao Zhengze" back then. "Shao Zhengze" might have escaped, but it definitely wouldn’t have been so easy! I’ve seen Qin Yang in action before; he clearly pulled that punch. Besides, with Qin Yang’s power, he could have easily reached the scene before us. But he didn’t.

Actually, it wasn’t just Qin Tian who harbored these thoughts; Qin Hao did as well.

As a result, neither of them trusted Qin Hao any longer.

Since he’s not on my side, it means he’s with the other faction.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Senior Brother Qin Tian."

Just then, a somewhat gloomy voice came from outside the room.

"Lu Shangxing..."

Qin Tian frowned, recognizing the voice of the person who had come.

"What is it?"

Qin Tian’s tone was not very pleasant.

"Lu Shangxing" seemed to take a deep breath before speaking heavily, "Senior Brother, let’s talk about Shao Zhengze and that Si Nanyan."

"Lu Shangxing, you’re one of my older brother’s men too, aren’t you?"

However, Qin Tian sneered.

"Senior Brother Qin Tian, you’re mistaken. I am my own person."

Wen Zhixing (as Lu Shangxing) shook his head and continued, "Since you don’t wish to talk, Senior Brother, then let’s just forget it."

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment. Seeing "Lu Shangxing" about to leave, he quickly spoke up, then opened the door with a CREAK.

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Wen Zhixing quickly stepped inside the room.

Qin Tian glanced outside, closed the door with a backhand motion, and turned around. "What did you want to say—?" he began, but just as he was about to continue speaking—

SPLASH!

An incredibly swift sword light flared.

It was too late for Qin Tian to dodge. Caught completely off guard, he was instantly pierced through the center of his brow by the sword. Then, several more sword lights flashed, striking his chest, throat, and other vital areas.
